CAN Shield And A MCP2515 Library
Now I understand that there are a few CAN implementations out there, but the more the merrier, right?
This one uses the MCP2515/MCP2551 chips like most of them do. It has a switchable CS pin so that you can use other SPI shields with it that might have hardwired D10 as CS. It has a switch to draw power from the CAN Bus if desired, if you wanted to add a WiFi or Bluetooth shield for example. And for newbies like me it’s an entirely through hole design making it an easy DIY project.
I’ve also written a library that’s a complete implementation of the MCP2515 SPI command set. It doesn’t yet have any wrappers for filters or masks, but these are all accessible through the read and write commands. I have a simple Init function that takes a bus speed and clock frequency and calculates out all the necessary bit timing parameters, which makes it pretty straightforward to setup and use.
